Hello
I'm very angry Since I've bought (12/7/2001) the video card (winfast titanium geforce 2 with 64 mo) it is impossible to play with the two versions of Midtown Madness (I and II) All the drivers (winfast and all utilities winfox,....) are installed and directx 8 too. Do you have an answer ??
Marc

you could try patching midtown 2 get the upgrade patch from microsofts site that worked for me.

I've had the problem for MM2& the possible solution for you : just run the patch of MM2 to be found at MS'web site. I don't know exactly where for you because i've had to run the french one (yes i'm french)

Joyeux Noel & bonne annee 2002 !!!
